Where's a decent restaurant for groups in Dublin these days? There'll be about 20-25 of us. Thinking something up to €50/head plus drinks should be plenty. FX Buckleys, Tomahawk?

Plus we can't really judge the Chinese. Their coal fumes have a much lower impact on the environment than the fact that we eat beef, which they largely don't. Ideally we'd all stop doing our bad things, but pointing at the Chinese when we've a vastly bigger impact that we don't have any intention of changing seems a bit dodge.

It’s more than likely too late.elon musk isn’t gonna Tech Jesus us out of this
The things that actually need to be done would have most governments overthrown within days if they tried to implement them.
Just hope that the worst models are off and we knock a few more decades of good times out,And that you die just before the free helicopter rides start to be handed out to anyone over a certain age when the younger generations realize just how thoroughly they have been fucked over

Almost all flights booked, accommodation booked, grand out.

Going full on, leaving Ireland on the either the 26th, 1st or 2nd.
Flying to London then Munich or just Munich straight. Renting a car there for a week and driving around to lots of places and dropping it off in Hamburg before getting to Copenhagen for the 8th and staying until the 12th when I fly back to work the mornings of 13th and 14th and Ireland match in the evening.

Now all I need are 2 fucking tickets!!

Hopefully not as golddust as Wales, but probably will be. Have never got lucky in the draws either even with 2 season tickets under my name

Power outage yesterday forced me to seek refuge in local watering hole which smartly installed a generator.

Was like Xmas Eve except every fucker interrupting my quiet time asking was there a socket around here.

I was charging up everything yesterday, phones, vape, portable power thingie. Just copped today that all I would've needed to do was start the car to charge stuff.

It happens, before I stopped work to have Lewis and on my childminders last day, Lucie managed to swing back and forth in her pram moving it and it went down a single step. She ended up flat on her face and we thought nose broke. No damage done as it is just cartilage in the nose. The childminder was in a worse state than Lucie.

Moral is, these things happen.

They are better minded in creche than you'd mind them yourself but it still doesn't stop the guilt/rage if something unfortunate happens in there.

Yep, i agree. They are suffering from overachieving and the facts are; they aren't good enough to challenge for a top 6 spot. They have lost 4 times this season. Against Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Which in fairness would not be a disaster for a mid table team. Their other 6 games have been won 3 drawn 3. They really are a joke of a club how they dealt with Ranieri and now Shakespeare.

She's grand. Usual craic where is placid and happy as anything until a nurse checks her blood pressure or heart rate with a tape around the toe.
Heart rate was 185 with the cuff but dropped almost instantly once it was removed.
So, another few hours to go

I honestly don't think there is a bad higher level seat in the Aviva for watching rugby.

I've applied for England v Ireland tickets and have the nod to join RDIII for the trip to Bilbao so I think that will do me for expensive trips for the season. I'll probably get one or two freebies over the autumn and I'll see about nabbing some half price home 6Ns tickets and that will do it.

Nabbed.

Seem to be in a strange position with my rugby viewing where I either spend a tenner or blow a grand to see a game!

Bilbao getting booked mid-Nov btw

It's a similar injury to the one Alan Smith suffered for Man Utd which he never really recovered from. Broken ankle and tibia.

It pretty much decides the Eastern Conference and who makes the NBA finals assuming LeBron plays his usual 70+ games.

The scientific consensus is it's largely affected by human activities also the scientific consensus that climate change is largely irreversible. But we can stop it getting worse.

I am going to argue the ad hominem fallacy too because Danny is begging for it ... and submit it's only the likes of Danny Healy Rae who state climate change is not real. But he such a brilliant example of someone in a job they are completely terrible at and undeserving of and makes the following statements in the Dáil.

The Kerry TD made national headlines last year when he said in a Dáil debate that, "God above is in charge of the weather and we here can’t do anything about it".

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/hurricane-ophelia/hurricane-ophelia-has-nothing-to-do-with-climate-change-kerry-td-danny-healyrae-36231358.html

Danny Healy-Rae has strongly rejected that Hurricane Ophelia is a result of climate change.

I mean he could try praying to save us at least. I mean the roof was blown off a community school in cork..maybe if it was kerry he would be on the direct line to god.

The thing is you and I are too unimportant and powerless to do something. But i have a funny feeling you Denny could get elected to public office. You are perfect.

Yeah, one chap ran as an indo back in 2011. Not really a prolific poster and don't think he posts anymore.
It would be really difficult to canvass an entire constituency without a big team of volunteers.

Seriously? What sane person would run for public office in Ireland? The likes of Ivan Yates saw sense and got out once he got his fill of the ego stroking. I respect LeoV and his focus. Let's see what he actually achieves though. My expectations are unfortunately low.

Besides that I honestly couldn't afford the pay cut right now. What is the pay?? ~80k for a TD with no bonus or job security. Yes the pension is good but I need money to pay the bills now.

V would be too liable to tell voters what they don't want to hear i.e. the truth

Kayroo - if he could tone it down for Joe Public, I could see it....definitely potential there.

Would love to see kayroo running. Everyone would be too afraid to question his policies cos we wouldn't want to admit we didn't understand half the words.

Ruth and Barrett are elected because people want to hear the stupid things they say. Which incidentally is why zod has a great chance of being elected

He already has his election slogan 'Dublin supremacy. Would prob make sense to run somewhere in Dublin then

**Denny Crane** · 18-10-17, 10:12

Didn't say it wasn't real P&F. I said the 97% figure wasn't real.

And that figure came from Obama, he was using fake news long before trump.
